Salonpas--any one--gluton free??
 

I finally found the pain patches that I think Mrs D recommended--Salonpas. Now I need to know if any of you here that are Celiac's or are gluten free have ever used them. I react to bandaids even and I just wonder if anyone else has tried them. I may just try them myself first and find out, but would love to see if any other celiac has had no bad reaction to them. Just having been glutened a few weeks ago, I am leary of anything new now.

Thanks for any info.

you are going to have to
 

contact them. Many medical adhesives have a hydrolyzed portion of gluten
in them. I don't know what the ingredients of the adhesive Salonpas are...they are not listed
on the website. Sorry.

I found an old box of Salonpas...
 

I didn't realize I had one, packed in my summer stuff.

Inactive ingredients:
butylated hydroxytoluene
rosin glycerol ester
maleated rosin glycerol ester
natural rubber
perfume
polybutene polyisobutylene
silicon dioxide
starch grafted acrylate
titanium dioxide
tocopherol acetate (vit E)
zinc oxide

WHEW... a typing challenge for sure!:p
many are cryptic to me. So I think you should contact them for details.

Ok, thanks. I just thought maybe someone had tried them, I know there are a few celiac's floating around the forums.
